Information for Authors

Information for Authors

Articles are to be between 2500-300 words. Op-eds should be between 1,500-2000 words and reviews between 500-750 words in length. Referencing should be in-text and include a bibliography which is not to be counted in the word length.

Style guidelines

Whilst we are willing to help out with editing the work of authors whose first language is not English, we expect other manuscripts to come to us in a finally edited form. This entails following the guidelines below:

Any track changes or headers and footers removed. Justify text to the left.

Text should be in Microsoft Word.

References are to be in-text with a full annotated bibliography included (see details below). Endnotes may be used but kept to a minimum.

Single quotation marks should be used for quotations within text (with double quotes within these where necessary).

Paragraphs should be separated by a one line space but not indented.

British rather than US spelling should be used.

Ibid. is used to denote an immediately prior citation; otherwise the reference should be repeated, e.g. (Hourani, 1991: 16).
